It should...

As discussed even today in another Thread...to add subcategories, you would use the following syntax:

Code:

Music/Pop_Music

Problem #1: Links 2 requires underscores instead of spaces in CATEGORY names.

Problem #2: Links 2 doesn't like the use of '&' in CATEGORY names.

Well, here's what we do. We used the expected CATEGORY names using the underscores for spaces and no '&'s, et cetera, et cetera. We don't have the Links 2 script build our main page. Our page remains static. We designed our main page to look the way we wanted and simply hyper-linked to the Links 2 CATEGORIES.

For example:

<td>&#149; <font face="arial,helvetica" size="2"><strong><a class="link" href="http://lenon.com/links/pages/Arts_and_Humanities/">Arts & Humanities</a></strong></font></td>

Simple pimple!

Hi,

you should get the non english modification in the resources section. This allows other caracters and spaces.
